How to tell a dot tail from a lookalike on a textured wine label
On a textured wine label, separate the dot tail: slur stretches the whole dot. A tail is an extra piece. Until you can tell them apart, don't adjust the press for the wrong cause.

Name it wrong and you adjust the wrong place
The dot throws a small tail, and the direction is fixed. If you call it something else, you skip this step: check impression and whether the ink is too thin. Don't change the screen angle. On a textured wine label, the wine name and the fine type decide whether you pass it. They do not decide what you call it.
How to separate them
| What you see | Closer to | How you separate |
|---|---|---|
| The dot throws a small tail, and the direction is fixed. | dot tail | Name it from one white spot |
| Slur stretches the whole dot. A tail is an extra piece. | Treat it as that other defect | Use the same adjustment |
| It sits on the wine name and the fine type | Hold this spot first | Ignore the location just to name it |
Confirm on the spot
- Look with the eye or a loupe: The dot throws a small tail, and the direction is fixed
- Rule out: Slur stretches the whole dot. A tail is an extra piece.
- Check impression and whether the ink is too thin. Don't change the screen angle.
